Pedunculate oak is a species of major economic importance in Polish forests. This species seedlings constitute 18.9% of the nursery production in the country. One of the most widespread fungal disease these oaks face is the oak powdery mildew induced by Erysiphe alphitoides. Nursery production is on the lookout for environment−friendly means of plant protection as well as growth simulators capable...
The paper describes changes, which took place over the last 30 years in old−growth forest stands occupying two permanent research plots, established in the Kaliszki and Sieraków strict protection areas in the Kampinos National Park (central Poland). Both plots have a form of ecological transects. The Kaliszki plot is 20 m wide and 700 m long (1.40 ha), while the Sieraków plot (total area of 2.56 ha)...
Two fundamental demographic processes (tree recruitment and mortality) are analyzed for forest stands growing on permanent study plots located in strictly protected Scots pine−dominated, old−growth stands of Kampinos National Park (central Poland). The major implications of the observed demographic trends for the general shape of tree size distributions are determined, as well. During the past ca...
The anatomical and morphological diversity of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) needles was investigated in nine Polish populations grown on the experimental plots at the Forest Experimental Station of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW (Rogów, Central Poland). The experiment started in 1966 and the needle samples were collected from the trees cut down during the thinning treatment in 2016...
The programme of testing the progeny of permanent seed stands, parent trees, seed orchards and seedling seed orchards that has been run in Poland enables to determine the genetic value and silvicultural quality of the progeny of components of primary forest material. A better knowledge of population variability and adaptability to particular environmental conditions also allows for the updating and...
This paper presents the genetic variability in the growth parameters and morphological traits, as well as the silvicultural quality of progeny of 23 European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) provenances from south−eastern Poland. The research was conducted on the experimental plot established in the Łosie Forest District in spring 2006. After 10 years, during the spring and autumn, we determined and measured...
Paper presents an analysis of phenotypical variation and an evaluation of silvicultural quality of progeny from 27 beech stands around Poland that grow on the provenance plot in the Brzeziny Forest District (51.791997°N, 19.813841°E). The trial commenced in spring 1996, on the basis of 2−year−old saplings with covered root systems. A randomised block method with 3 replications was applied, with subsequent...
The paper presents the main results of the comprehensive inventory of monumental trees in the Strict Reserve of the Białowieża National Park, which was conducted in years 2002−2017 on an area of ca. 4700 ha and included all live trees with diameter at breast height (dbh) exceeding a minimum threshold value ranging from 60 cm for hornbeam to 120 cm for oak. For every tree fulfilling this condition,...
The aim of this paper is to investigate and compare structural, mechanical and physical properties of wood of Norway spruce growing on experimental plot in Rogów (central Poland). The planting material consisted of seeds sourced from six selected provenances. Three of them originated from lowlands, while the others have mountain origins (tab. 1). The plot was established in 1975 and the wood was harvested...
European beech is one of the most important broadleaved tree species in Poland and will play probably even more significant role in the future due to the predicted climate change. The main objectives of this study was to analyse and compare the growth parameters and morphological traits between 23 European beech provenances from south−eastern Poland (fig. 1). The research was conducted on the experimental...
This paper describes the variability of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) provenances in the IUFRO experiment located in Rogów (central Poland). The silvicultural quality and growth of 17 European provenances at the age of 28 years were examined, including height, diameter at breast height, standing volume, straightness of stem and health status. Populations from Poland (Spała, Miłomłyn, Rychtal),...
The paper analyses the variability of selected adaptive, growth and morphological parameters of 16 Scots pine provenances from Poland. Their silvicultural value and usefulness under the growth conditions in Central Poland were assessed. The empirical part was carried out on the experimental plot established in spring 1966 in Lipce Reymontowskie Forest Range, Rogów Forest Experimental Station. In subsequent...
The paper deals with problems concerning silvicultural planning in silver fir stands in Zagnańsk Forest District (central Poland) that are characterized by complex structure. Based on a detailed inventory using 98 permanent circular sample plots in four control units the BDq method was employed for determining the future silvicultural activities of the current forest management cycle. The equilibrium...
This paper addresses problems associated with the silvicultural planning in the Norway spruce mire forests (Sphagno girgensohnii−Piceetum Polak. 1962) that are characterized by an uneven−aged structure and a high degree of irregularity at small scale. Based on detailed inventory using 30 permanent circular sample plots in two control units located in the Augustów Forest (NE Poland), the BDq method...
The paper presents the study on the height of 10−12−year−old pedunculate oak regeneration in clear−cut gaps in three fertility variants: mezotrophic of poorer productivity (fresh mixed coniferous forest – BMśw), mezotrophic of higher productivity (fresh mixed deciduous forest – LMśw) and eutrophic (fresh deciduous forest – Lśw). BMśw and LMśw were represented by two locations: Gostynin (G) and Parczew...
